I don't think that the issue is in the page size - it should be transparent for the process. However, I presume that there might be some other changes in OS which prevent sync from running.

Could you please describe how exactly Sync is not running? Some error message, crash or something else? Did you try to run it with --nodaemon switch to see the app output to console? Can you run it with strace to see which system calls were called before program crashed \ terminated?

For now BT is not going to support this particular NAS model. Please use Sync with GlibC 2.3 as solution. It lacks only one function comparing to other builds - it does not subscribe for immediate directory change events, so files changed are detected only during full folder rescan.

The new WD FW update solves a lot of other problems such as read and write performance and it's sad that we BTSync users can't update because of the lacking function you mentioned regarding GlibC that is needed for BTSync to work properly.

I'm in love with BTSync but I also need to use it with this drive to have my private cloud working for devices photo backups and laptop folder's synchronization.

I hope you can give us a real solution. Thank you in advance for your help.

So btsync needs to be recompiled with that new non-standard kernel. but because btsync is closed-source software community can't do this by themselves. I just bought my wd own cloud and it is already have firmware version 4 so I'm trying to downgrade at the moment

unfortunately downgrade hasn't worked for me.

will have to restore rootfs with firmware version 4

one more update

cloud restored version 4 by itself after failed boot from the second RAID partition

so looking forward to seeing recompiled version for this non-standard kernel WD released. Seems like they put sticks into wheels on purpose by releasing version 4 with non-standard kernel

@mogarick

We want to support WD new firmware in future, but I cannot claim any plans / ETAs due to project status (beta). Please stay tuned for the news.

There is no problem with the version file as I hacked installation shell script as suggested in the thread I mentioned in my message. I just commented out version check. I'm just getting lots of errors during running an installation script. I wouldn't bother using btsync at all if WD supported Linux as I use Linux on all my laptops. Maybe I'll try to setup rsync instead.
